Add TypeScript types for hooks

**Description**
Currently auth lacks proper retry support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable retry with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The title mentions TypeScript types for hooks, while the description requests configurable authentication retry support, and no files or tests are named. Start by locating the authentication hooks and current retry handling, then clarify which scope is intended. Done should include the agreed configuration, sensible defaults, and coverage for the resulting retry behavior.
